I tried upgrading, been a while, I was previously running 20101024, which seems to work mostly (I think it’s not getting some/all of the newer manga which is why I was looking to upgrade), but the upgrade was a real mess. The old version doesn’t try to download pictures it’s already downloaded in the past, it gives the “Already downloaded” message for them. The new one? Tries to download ever single picture all over again. I did some searching and saw some suggestions for the config.ini, and added those, and even copied the database over from my backup to start fresh and… it continues to try to download every freaking image all over again. This is a MAJOR problem for me, as I use the filenameformat of %member_id% (%artist%)%image_id% – %title%, and some of the artists in my database change their nick fairly often. I don’t want to download all their images all over again every time they do (not to mention it takes about twice as long for the program to fail out on file exists than it does for it to just skip it as already downloaded). Here’s the config.ini for the new version:

Hopefully you can tell me what’s wrong, as I’d like to upgrade and get the images the older version misses, but not badly enough to risk redownloading ~5GB of stuff. 🙁 Oh yes, I’ve tried checkUpdatedLimit both mixed case and all lowercase as the program added it to the config in the first place. Neither worked.

I’ve read the readme, and I understand.
What I’m saying is that it does not seem to save the galleries to their respected folders, but instead saves it all to a folder named “_”
This is with these settings:

I know it says in the readme that you can specify a directory for each ID, but is that totally necessary for each gallery to be saved to their specific folders? That was not a requirement in the previous versions so I assumed it isn’t a requirement in this one.
My list goes as such:

there is a problem with the filename, can I see your filename format in the config.ini? probably it is because your os doesn’t support japanese character, what is your os? try to change the format to %member_id%%image_id%.

For some reason, Pixiv Downloader closes for me when I run it. I’m sure I’m putting in the correct password, but it always closes. It always closes before I can read the error message or make a screenshot. Does anybody else have this problem?

For my username and password, I have tried both inputting normally and typing it in the config.ini. I do not have capslock turned on and I am absolutely sure I’m not using the wrong username and password. Did Pixiv change something lately so Pixiv Download can’t connect?
